Hi Lauren! I'm so glad you're here!
I hear your isolation. It brings back memories for me of when I was in college, which was a very lonely time for me. Coming here and telling it like it is, is a big step out of isolation and into the human race. Good for you!
You know, we can fool ourselves with the "When I am different, then I'll be able to..." trap. But the truth is, people who don't like themselves with whatever amount of weight, still don't like themselves when they lose it. That's why most people who lose go back up and then some. Everyone has things about them that are lovable - can you find some about yourself?
As far as your weight is concerned, I think you know that you aren't really overweight. And what other people are thinking is probably that they wish they could look like you!
God bless you, Lauren. I hope you find the support you need. Come back here anytime! We'll be here!
Pray Lady
